I have a Smart-UPS XL2200 with 10 external batteries attached. I am able to view the web interface of the UPS. How do I determine how much the load is? I saw a Load Power percentage figure, but I'm not sure what figure it is based off of? 2200 watts?

Thanks!

hi,

if you have the UPS at a default configuration, the SUA2200XL can support up to 1850 watts or 2200VA (volt amps).

when you mention the "web interface" are you speaking of the network management card or powerchute business edition agent?

load power will most likely be in watts. you would take the percentage of load off of 1850 watts to figure out about how many watts you are pulling.

in the network management card, it specifies load in watts but business edition just says UPS Load. let me know which software you have and ill make sure its definitely in watts or kVA.
